At one point I gave my bag away to my nephew because I thought I would never stop using my quilt. Well, I’m softer than I used to be and can only handle my quilt down to 30 degrees or so. Its still my preferred sleeping solution for warmer months, but in the cold I’m thinking of going with bag primarily because it keeps my arms in check. With my quilt my arms are always flinging around which is great normally, but when its cold my arms freeze when they are off the pad, and forcing me to keep my arms next to my body which takes effort. This is even through my puffy which I always wear with my quilt. If I’m gonna be bundled over my sleeping pad anyway maybe a bag makes sense again?
I’ve heard ALOT of great things about the Western Mountaineering Teralite but its expensive. I have found a used one here that I am think of. But before that, I need to ask if anyone has other suggestions?
It will have to be 2 pounds or under or I will break my pathetic back. I think the Teralite is rated as 25 degrees but people say its quite a bit warmer.
I am also curious about the zipperless designs that are kinda quilt like. Let me know if you side sleeper/tossers like those.
Thanks!
EDIT: Intented use: inside a light bivy like the MLD superlight, either outside or under a tarp or paramid.
